As businesses increasingly digitize operations, IT systems are evolving into complex, distributed ecosystems. Applications run across multi-cloud environments, microservices power critical processes, and data flows in real time across countless touchpoints. While this transformation drives agility and scalability, it introduces significant challenges: hidden anomalies that can disrupt operations, frustrate users, and damage revenue.

Every IT environment relies on multiple monitoring tools to ensure smooth and uninterrupted operations across various systems—network, databases, servers, applications, and more. These tools constantly scan for any performance anomalies to keep everything running smooth. However, when there’s a spike in performance metrics—such as CPU usage, network traffic, or database activity—each of these monitoring tools triggers its own alert for what might be the same underlying issue.

For those of us managing the ever-evolving IT infrastructure, the days of simple cause-and-effect relationships are long gone. A performance dip in one application might affect microservices, destabilizing the systems. Alerts – flood in, logs – pile up, and even the most sophisticated monitoring dashboards often leave asking: Where do we even begin?

HEAL Software’s AIOps platform has firmly established as a leader in leveraging AI and machine learning to analyze alerts and events, correlating them with historical data and knowledge base to identify root causes with exceptional accuracy. This advanced root cause analysis significantly reduces Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) and minimizes downtime, ensuring the reliability of IT systems. However, the real innovation comes with the HEAL Chatbot, which is more than just a conversational AI.

The term “unknown unknowns” refers to problems or vulnerabilities that have not yet been identified or anticipated. Unlike known issues, which can be addressed with existing knowledge and tools, unknown unknowns require a different approach to detection and resolution. These hidden issues are often beneath the surface, only becoming apparent when they cause significant disruption.

In today’s digital age, IT organizations face numerous challenges that can hinder their ability to provide seamless services. Common pain-points include frequent outages, unexplained end-user experiences, negative brand impact, unaccomplished business demands, and complex application environments. These issues are exacerbated by technology silos, an overload of alerts, inaccurate and prolonged root cause analyses, and inadequate current SRE/DevOps tools.

On July 19, 2024, a significant outage impacted globally, causing widespread disruptions across various industries. This outage was primarily linked to a faulty update from CrowdStrike’s Falcon Sensor, which led to severe issues on Windows systems. CrowdStrike is a leading cybersecurity company that specializes in protecting businesses from online threats.

Achieving ZeroSec observability has long been the ultimate goal, yet it remains elusive despite countless hours and sleepless nights dedicated to the cause. A recent discussion with a client underscored the persistent challenges that many organizations continue to struggle with in this pursuit. They had all the right tools in place yet faced significant issues that prevented them from achieving a smooth run of the applications.

Event correlation is a critical aspect of modern IT management, involving the analysis and correlation of events to filter out noise and isolate significant events requiring attention. This process helps quickly identify the root cause of issues, reducing the time it takes to resolve incidents and ensuring smoother operations. Key reasons for event correlation include reducing noise data and identifying root causes efficiently.
